Hi all,
I hope this question is not answered somewhere; I have been searching in the forum and in wiki, but I did not find anything.
I am trying a MP installation 1.1.0 final on a complete new Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit installation (my signature still says XP because this is my running installation, just trying how it works on Windows 7 as I want to switch the server).
My problem(s):
Everything runs fine until the deploy tool wants to download Mediaplayer 11; in Windows 7, however, wmp 12 is installed.
- Deploy tool tells me to download "wmp11-windowsxp-x64-ENU.exe". 1st problem: The download link does lead to wmp 6.4 for Win95 and WinNT.
- 2nd problem: If I look for the download by myself (on the microsoft site), I find it, and after doing the genuine check (passed), it provides the download. The download, however, is not possible (file not existing any more).
How to get MP installed on Win7 64?
Additional question: Directx 11 is installed with Windows 7. Why does the deploy tool download directx_March2009?
Thanks!
Alfred
Update:
I found a solution (workaround, or is that the way it should be?) :
Yesterday, I always did try it in the way as I did always with WinXP: I first klicked on "Download Only" because I do have a very slow internet connection. So I was able to copy the already downloaded files to the deploy folder.
Today, I tried the direct installation and checked here which downloads were missing. And: This time it did NOT ask for WMP11, instead, it said "WMP installed". So this problem is solved.
But, 3 more questions:
1. In this way, the deploy tool does not ask for 32/64 bit installation (when downloading only, it does ask) and is installed in the X86 program folder. Does that mean
- the deploy tool does - in this way - know that it is a 64bit installation, or is it a bug?
- MP itself is NOT a 64bit application?
2. still MP wants to install (and does!) directx_March2009, even when directx 11 is installed
3. the above described story when I select just to download, maybe this is a bug?
Anyway, as it is working now: Happy Alfred!
